No. I don't think a person should be killed because they killed an animal. Almost all poaching is done in nations that are impoverished and those people are desperately trying to feed their families. You want to stop poaching then lift those countries up from poverty, fix the corruption in their government, make their economies free market and capitalistic and within a few generations poaching will stop because people will no longer have to choose between killing an animal illegally to get money vs. watching their children slowly starve to death.

Poaching is illegal. They are not hunting to sustain themselves. They kill animals who are on a protected list to sell off their parts for profit. They clearly don't care for life , which, to me, puts them outside the bounds of polite society. It's a vile and immoral practice. A simple fine and jail time isn't enough of a deterrent. They should be judged by the moral principles they believe in: that life can be reduced to parts of value. They should be killed and used to advance medical research. Their cruelty may lead to benefit in the world.

I think they should be tagged with a subdermal gps tracker, realeased into the the wild and hunted by professionals. With non lethal weaponry, but they don’t need to know that at first. Shoot them with a tranquilizer then toss me in jail for a few decades so they can reflect on how terrifying that felt.

1st offence should be slapped with a fine second offence fine and 1yr in jail third offence 100k fine and 5yrs in prison and fourth you should be treated like you treated the animals you poached, taken out back and bullet in your head bc u had 4 other chances and you didn't learn so evidently you have no respect of the law and why keep you around. i fully support animals and thinning out the herd but legally. if your poaching endangered animals no chance one and done you should be taken out.

No. I don't think anyone should be put to death for their crimes. I'm perfectly okay with solitary confinement for life for extreme crimes, though. And many people would consider that cruel and unusual punishment. I wouldn't consider illegal poaching to be serious enough to warrant that, however.

Lol what is wrong with humanity? Are their lives equal to humans? There was a question here about should women getting abortions be killed by law or not, and most of women said no. Wtf? There you are actually killing a life, a human and arguing to not give death sentence. Those were indeed just fucked face filthy disgusting whores.

@Sonorous that's truth too actually. They want to spread their legs but once they get pregnant, they just to runaway from a responsibility then.

Absolutely many of them are murderers look at the father and son who shot and killed the mother bear and her cubs and then laughed about it although I'm thankful they were caught and were imprisoned people like them do deserve the death penalty same as the guy who shot and killed Cecil the Lion

Never. For certain rate animals there should be severe fines and/or jail time, but animal life is not more valuable than human life. And when it's people poaching for their own food? That shouldn't even be illegal.

All that humans are, are slightly smarter animals who tend to do a lot of stupid things. Poachers should not be given the death penalty, but definitely imprisoned for several years and stripped of any and all hunting licenses, gear, e. t. c.

Trapping is ok as long as it's not a dead trap and your just moving the animal away from your home/property but poaching is very wrong and thay should get punished big time for it, maybe not that extreme as death penalty

They do what they do because they want money and they don’t care about animals. Simple as that. Most people when pushed into a corner would make the exact same decision. It’s not something a therapist can fix.

@Wharvey98 Therapists aren't there to fix people, they're there to listen and try to understand people. Ideally, they could just talk to a friend, but when you have no one...And I don't feel like a human could really kill anything for money. There's some stronger underlying motivation they feel they could achieve through money, but it's not just for the sake of having it. You would have to have something wrong with you if you're willing to kill anyway, so they still need someone to talk to and connect with.

The thing is basically everyone is willing to kill when push comes to shove. Think about Nazi germany in ww2, are you trying to tell me there was something wrong with 99 percent of the population of Germany?

Not the death penalty, but maybe if their hands were severed so they wouldn't do anymore poaching, and 'poacher' branded on their cheek, so everyone knows who they are.

Considering humans are killing off the planet I’m certainly here for extreme consequences for people who don’t value life of animals.Killing them is too extreme. Prison time & community service however would be the method I would go with.

@mattdzzHumans are a type of mammal. Technically one could say we are a type of animal. Hypothetical which do you think is worth more a human that abused and or raped, and or tortured 20 people or an animals that harmed 1 person.
